RE: The Last Diet You Will Ever Need
You are so right!
Now to get TV commercials, magazine ads, grocery stores, restaurants, factories, and home chefs to boycott the processed foods and get healthier choices to be more common. Right now, it's so much easier and costs so much less money to make unhealthy choices. We need to change the culture, but the economy would have to transform too, and all those bright-orange Mac and Cheese mixes, all those red fruit punches full of corn sweeteners, all those hydrogenated cookies, those frozen dinners... we can find better models in third world countries with open air markets!
Amen! You are so very right! Remember when they banned cigarette advertising on t.v. (in the US) because it was a national health problem? Same needs to happen with the foods that are killing us. At a minimum, we should spend a commensurate amount of money educating people about healthy food choices.
The good news is that more and more of us are buying organic and healthier foods so by voting in that manner, with our wallets, more and more healthy options have become available. Who knows where we will be in the next 10 years? Hopefully much closer to a grocery store where the majority of the products are clean and healthy AND taste great!
Thanks for your insightful comment! In Health! T
I hit the upvote button on your reply, but Steemit is being agonizingly slow again today.
Yes, ban the high fructose corn sweeteners, MSG, artificial colors and flavors. Orange cheese? I don't need the dye to be motivated to eat cheese. Children are the biggest target of the bright, unnatural colors to entice them to eat junk food. Parents, we all need to say no. Our 22-year-old is grateful NOW that we never let them order soda with fast food (they were lucky to get the fries and chicken fingers). Sugar free or regular, soda is one of the most toxic things we drink. Beer would be safer for our children. Seriously.
